Whar Klobuchar read in 2022
From the WSJ
It’s a busy season for both the political and business worlds, but these luminaries were willing to take a moment to talk about the books that have given them inspiration, food for thought or a needed respite in 2022.
Amy Klobuchar
In Minnesota, our landmark artists are often also literal landmarks. There is Duluth’s Bob Dylan Way, St. Paul’s Fitzgerald Theater, a statue of Sinclair Lewis in Sauk Centre. And in Minneapolis, just a few miles from Prince’s star at First Avenue, there is Birchbark Books, which is owned by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louise Erdrich. In Ms. Erdrich’s latest novel, “The Sentence,” a bookstore inspired by Birchbark Books is brought to life—and is also haunted by a deceased customer. “The Sentence” is deeply personal and profoundly relevant, a fictional yet faithful account of the trials of the pandemic and the racial reckoning in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. It is a magical novel. But for anyone who took on the challenge of leadership during the last few years—in politics, business or elsewhere—it is a cathartic reminder to stay grounded in what is good and what matters, even when you don’t have all the answers. If you’re ever in Minneapolis, be sure to visit Birchbark Books. Until then, reading “The Sentence” will pretty much take you there.
